"I make grammar mistakes when I speak English..."

hi there I'm Drew Badger the world's first and number one English Fluency

Guide and it is a pleasure to welcome you to another fantastic video here on

YouTube in this video what I'd like to do is clear up this is a great phrasal

verb to make something easy to understand so to clear up some issues

about grammar and talk about really language learning in general and why

language learning has the perception that it does so when people think about

language learning they think about ods difficult oh that language is difficult

this language is tricky this language is whatever I don't believe any of that

shit now now I used to I used to think that like wow like somebody learned

Chinese that must be amazing but lives like a billion people who speak Chinese

it can't be that hard now obviously that's really about the

way you learn but if you learn more like native speakers and you actually develop

the fast skills that you need for speaking as opposed to the slow skills

that you get in a typical language learning lesson these are the slow

skills like listening reading and writing and again these slow skills or

things that you can take time to do so when you're practicing some grammar or

something like that most of the education that people are getting for

whatever language they're learning whether it's Chinese or English or

Japanese they're getting a whole bunch of rules and explanations instead of

connecting directly with the language and learning it the same way a native

speaker would now there's no reason why you can't learn anything in a different

language but through that language itself as opposed to learning it through

your native language so there are lots of problems and reasons why people

struggle especially with grammar but they all have to do with how you learn

so all you have to do is change the way you learn so you develop the fast skills

of speaking and part of this is being able to use grammar automatically

because of how you learn grammar and if you learn grammar directly the way I'm

going to teach you in this video it makes it much easier to understand so

all of the ideas about like wow that language is difficult or grammar is

difficult or all of this it's just because of how you learn

so these develop ideas in your mind about wow this really is difficult but

it's just because your teacher did a bad job of helping you actually speak and

use these things automatically because frankly it's just easier to just tell

you a rule and say hey remember this rule remember

these ten words for your test but being able to use them automatically when you

speak is not something you're typically learning in school that's why I'm here

to help you solve that problem and now try to get you back on the right path

how you can actually speak fluently now for grammar mistakes people are again

having the problems that they have like being able to or not being able to use

things automatically because they have to translate or think about grammar

rules because number one they're learning it through their native

language so that's the biggest problem people have where instead of watching a

video like this where it's all in English you might be someone in Portugal

or learning through Portuguese or somebody you know else learning through

Spanish or you know Chinese or whatever but the more you're using your native

language in order to learn my language the more you will struggle because you

have to use that translation method in Reverse when you actually want to speak

so if you're getting the the language through another step the more steps you

put between yourself in the language the slower you're going to be when you speak

so if you want to be a fast speaker you have to learn everything in English

that's the first and most important thing it doesn't matter if we're talking

about grammar or vocabulary or anything else if you learn it all in English it's

going to make it much easier for you to communicate and use these things

automatically when you have to speak now the second part of this the the more

important part really after you understand that okay we have to do it

all in English is to learn it visually you have to actually see these things

when they're when they're happening and this is why we teach everything visually

in the fluency course and master English conversation because we want to show you

how the grammar work as opposed to just telling you what a grammar rule is maybe

there are some explanations it's all in English but like in general you want to

see what's happening if I say Iran then I want to see a picture of a person

running that way I don't need to translate anything from my native

language into my English language when I'm trying to learn it so if it's all in

English and you see it happening this is how you understand grammar much more

easily so right now I'm not giving a bunch of videos about how to do that

which you can see again in the fluency course or master English conversation or

right here on our YouTube channel so I highly recommend you check out our

visual guide to phrasal verbs and you can see that again samples of

right here on our YouTube channel but you can see how we teach grammar

visually and in that case we're talking about a specific kind of vocabulary word

which is phrasal verbs but these are the kinds of things where we're showing you

how something works and the origin of different words and when you learn

things like this it helps you understand the grammar much more easily as an

example we talked a lot about phrasal verbs on this channel and that's because

phrasal verbs are something that number one are very common in number two

they're actually very easy to learn if you just focus on learning them the same

way native speakers do which is visually so visual visual learning is exactly

what all the children are doing like I'm teaching my daughter who's almost two

years old now wow she's like time flies you know my daughter is like almost a

she's a year and I think ten months at the time of this video but almost

getting to 2 years old so time really does fly go back and watch some videos I

have to get another video of her now that her Japanese and English are coming

along very well so after getting her reading is coming along very well - she

knows I think most of the alphabet and he's learning a lot of Japanese as well

anyway enough about Aria but just showing you the way she's improving that

is not because I'm using one language to teach another language I don't teach her

Arabic first and then try to teach her English after that I'm teaching her all

in English and it's not because kids are like somehow special or whatever it's

just we're teaching simple things in a visual way that's easy to understand so

anytime you're just learning rules and you're saying this thing does that and

then remember it for this situation but not that situation it can be really

difficult but if you see lots of examples and see how things are actually

happening you're learning in the same way native speakers or learning so these

first two points are really important number one learning everything all in

English and number two seeing it visually now the third part of this is

if you want to understand tenses better is to take the things that you're

learning visually and just like native English speakers you're practicing using

them in different situations so you don't try to think about things as a

rule like for the future tense we do this you understand from the context and

this is a tricky thing to understand about language learning because many

people like especially adults who are learning the language it's not like a

child where you just relax and the things that are coming so a child

understands okay they're talking about the future that's the context and then

these are the words they're using for that so Ari is learning right now like I

am eating right now but I ate yesterday so I will eat tomorrow

so she's learning these different things over time and she's understanding like

even like eat and ate they are two different words to reo but they

understand like ah okay like the conjugation idea that will come along

later but that's the reverse of what people are trying to do in school so

they're teaching you okay here's the word ate now this is the past tense of

the word eat and so we're going to practice this ate ate ate ate ate and

we're going to practice all these different things we're going to drill

these and so you can use them to remember them for a test but then you

can't actually use them because in a conversation you say oh I have to

practice okay eat and I have to think about that and then I get to speak so if

you don't want to do that again you have to connect everything in English and

learn it visually now four tenses what I was just explaining before it becomes

something that's much easier to understand with stories that are told

from different perspectives so different things like if we're talking about a

casual situation versus a more professional situation so you might use

slightly different language for this version of the story for that version of

the story or you might hear one that's like a slower version or a faster

version or one that's said by a person from the United States or someone from

Canada and the accent is slightly different this is the exact same thing

that we do in mastering this conversation in the fluency course

because this is how native English speakers are learning there's really no

secret to this it's so easy if you just stop learning the way typical student

would learn and start learning the same way native speakers do because that's

how you develop not only the reading writing and listening skills but also

the fast skills that you need to speed so everything that lets you use your

vocabulary automatically correct grammar automatically all these things they all

come from learning the fast skills and that's why you have to stop learning the

traditional way and start learning more like a native English speaker and if you

can do that again it's learning everything in English you're seeing it

visually and then you're also getting these the different tenses and learning

how things you're taking may be that same kind of content the

learning it in different ways or seeing it in different ways you get the past

version of the story the present version of the story but you're not focusing on

the rules you're understanding the context of the situation so I okay so

yesterday he ate something oh okay like ate so he's doing the same action he's

putting some food in his mouth but in the past we say ate okay I understand

that now without someone having to tell me or to drill it using some rote

learning or some grammar tables or anything else like that so these are the

three steps that you can use to learn and you can learn more about this again

at English anyone calm with the fluency course or master English conversation

and really master English conversation is the fluency course it's a great set

of lessons that a lot of our students enjoyed so the most popular ones that

people selected and that's why we created that course for people because

they wanted to have a bunch of these great lesson sets to all learn with and

again it just goes through that same step-by-step process the exact same way

native speakers learn and that's why people who go through the program become

fluent speakers it's all very simple anyway if you have enjoyed this video

remember these ideas learn like native speakers if you want to speak like

natives and this means learning all in English you're seeing it visually you're

learning things without trying to study the rules of it and then you're

listening to different stories or different versions of things like again

another great example is just listening for improving your accent and

pronunciation you're getting that from listening to different versions of the

same song or the same poem or whatever but it's just told by different people

so you're getting that accent training but it's the exact same thing with

grammar so you're listening to something that happen in the past something that

will happen in the future or whatever something like that anyway if you have
